I dont really get it
Why is it that people are going to pick red and hammers? I just picked my favorite color and favorite tool
This is a really interesting scientific phenomenon known as cognitive load. Absent any external stimuli, when asked to name a color, people tend, on average, to say “red†first — when asked to name a tool, they tend to say “hammer.†Of course, when you’re not under cognitive load, like right now, your mind can start to wander. You might say an orange rake! The math problems increase your cognitive load and cause you to behave more predictably because there are less free brain cells that you can use to think creatively.
i actually did think of a red hammer

I thought of green hammer but I also preemptively thought of green. The test was spoiled as I scrolled down to see the end before I actually tried it so my mind is already tainted by it.

picked red wrench... does that count as half?
I thought the same thing.......Are you me? O__O
Why is red the first color, on average, to come up first? I was like "color ...red! Tool...hmmmm.....errrrr....wrench!"

because red is the fastest to say (being quick) and hammer is one of the 1st tools anyone is taught about

I think there is some subliminal message stuffs going on. "QUICK!", the color associates with urgency and passion is red. A tool, the most represented tool for anyone is probably a hammer. That's what I am thinking anyway, use the math to help people get into quick mindset and utter phrases that link with something obvious.
